Accidentally engaged with Another Dad about politics outside the school today and want to die. Incredible how people will believe any old shit they read and will actively swerve being corrected on things.
Dizzying highs of a day of snow followed by the wretched lows of the next day when it rains and all the snow turns to horrid slush.
The ghouls really are worming their way into and making worse every aspect of life on these islands. I saw Robin at QED this year and he said pretty much all of this then. We've got to support those who are good to others and Robin's absolutely one of them.
Incredible source of psychic damage: Used my boomer dad's phone.
When pressed about political ideas our local reform party mouthpiece will be all for straight up socialism but the second you point that out he gets arsey. It's enormously entertaining.
No it's fine, I'm just looping Tom Waits' RAIN DOGS because I'm feeling grand.
Discovered a new torment: remembering the specific taste and smell of foods from places that aren't open any more.
The new fashion: cutting your thumb while making a sandwich and getting Gochujang in the wound.
There's joy in a bad schlocky movie. There's no joy in a bad shlocky book.
Rang Takeaway 1, placed an order for collection, then drove to Takeaway 2 to pick it up.
Been too consistent in asking the local Reform semi-perma-candidate entry level questions about politics on facebook and have got rate limited. Sorry I was asking a dummy to define "capitalism" once too many times, Zucc! Message received!
It's so embarassing to read a book that's entry 1.5 in a series. The only thing worse is reading a book that's an entry that's 1.2 or any number other than .5.
me, thinking about my crooked nose: "I wish I was more symmetrical"
the genie snaps his fingers. my veins connect to arteries. my two hearts start fighting and form a feedback loop. blood in the loop approaches 300mph. i'm dead within a minute
Love seeing I've been interacted with an account that features "AI" in the bio and immediately blocking them.
With the amount of coverage Charlie Kirk is getting, if It™ happens to Trump it'll make the coverage of Prince Philip and the Queen's passings seem like a slow day. Kirk was an expendable propagandist.
Alien needs its own Andor. Every long running series needs its own Andor, to be fair.
If nothing else it gave us The Bit With The Sheep and it's a worthy addition for that.
Want to get into writing letters to friends but have been cursed with the handwriting of a 37 year old man who had bad writing as a lad and has been out of regular writing practice for half of his life.
Arguing against somebody who's just not aware of the facts is amazing. I'll be all "what if things were better in any way" and they'll be all "you are the stupidest thing on this earth i hate you and hope you die".
How stressful would it have been to be a Mammoth? They probably had things sorted out alright.
The new "your friends liked" feed on instagram is interesting. Some outwardly surly people liking saccharine stuff. Single men liking horny material. Boomers liking exclusively AI videos.
The purest way to discover a new movie to watch is to see a post containing four genuinely insane screenshots of a borderline impossible-to-find movie from the 70s. It's how I find half of what I watch and it's the best thing about Social Media™
If I was in politics I'd simply have the correct opinions about everything from the start and I'd never need to U-Turn
Desperately want to be a Hater but am forced to be An Understander
Maybe I can pivot it to being a LitRPG and I'll have thousand of taste-free nerds sucking it up and making me rich.
Absolutely have a novel in me waiting to come out.
Guarantee it's dogshit.
Love seeing the results of the daily YouGov polls and the disconnect between CON/REF voters and things like facts, and reality.
Incredible that a piece of anti-fascist art as coherent as Andor is being made by Disney. Imagine how much more exreme in tone it'd be if the mouse wasn't involved.
The only good thing about machine generated images and videos is that it's given me a much better appreciation for even the lowest quality trash made by humans as long as there's soul that's gone into it. A child's homemade video of their toys fighting has more juice than the best AI video.
The By-Election went the bad way in the funny way (6 vote margin).
